Los Angeles -LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Lindsay Lohan made sure she made it to the Los Angeles morgue early Friday for her first day of court-ordered community service .

`` We can confirm she came in well before her appointed time , between 6 and 6:30 this morning , '' Los Angeles County Coroner Assistant Chief Ed Winter said Friday .

Thursday was suppose to be Lohan 's first day of work as a morgue janitor , but she was sent away after showing up late for the morning 's orientation .

Publicist Steven Honig blamed her tardiness on `` a combination of not knowing what entrance to go through and confusion caused by the media waiting for her arrival . ''

As part of her sentence for a necklace theft conviction , Lohan was ordered to work 120 hours at the county morgue after she completed 360 hours of community service at the Los Angeles Downtown Women 's Center , but she was booted from that program for missing too many appointments .

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner ruled Wednesday that Lohan had violated her probation . Lohan posted $ 100,000 bail for her probation revocation , but Sautner ordered her to perform two working shifts -- or eight hours a day -- twice a week at the morgue until her probation revocation hearing November 2 .

`` Her duties will include general janitorial work like vaccuuming , taking trash out and cleaning bathrooms , '' Winter said .

Lohan , 25 , was on probation after pleading guilty in May to stealing a necklace from a Venice , California , jewelry store . She served five weeks of home confinement ending in June for that misdemeanor theft and violation of another probation .

Lohan 's legal woes began in 2007 with two drunken driving arrests , and they 've been compounded by her failure to attend counseling classes and her failures of alcohol and drug tests .

CNN 's Michael Martinez contributed to this report .
